Bissett Campaign Files Finance Report

The Committee to Elect Phil Bissett today reported to the Maryland State Board of Elections that the Republican candidate for Anne Arundel County executive has raised over $140,000 in this campaign cycle and has a balance of approximately $70,000 on hand after paying all bills.

"I am extremely grateful and humbled by the outpouring of support I've received from people from all walks of life throughout our county," said Mr. Bissett, of Mayo. "We've got a broad base to draw from as we move forward, and the momentum continues to build."

Campaign manager Diane M. Rey said the campaign has a vigorous fundraising plan in place and has built a strong network of grassroots support countywide. The campaign is expecting several hundred people to turn out for its next big public fundraiser, a bull and oyster roast March 23 at Michael's 8th Avenue in Glen Burnie. The campaign is also keeping up an aggressive schedule of voter contact, she said.

Mr. Bissett, a former chairman of the county's delegation to the Maryland General Assembly, officially filed for the county executive's race Jan. 3. The campaign plans to hold a public announcement and supporter rally in the near future.
